Stand by You

Stand by You- Chapter 4

She was running along the hallway because she’s gonna be late in her first class if she don’t

“Wiee~ That was close” she uttered playfully.

She looked for a vacant seat but all she saw was the one at the back corner, the only one’s not been occupied. She hesitated at first since Kei would be right beside her if she sits in there. But she’s got no choice especially their professor is already in front.

“Lucky~” Kei said in a singing tone.

“Loser.Jerk.” Kana stuttered.

Their lesson about the introduction in Architectural symbols is quite long and their professor is talking in front for like three hours already, without a break.

Kei noticed that Kana is already sleeping, so he grabbed the opportunity to wrap his hand around her waist, just like a normal couple would do. They were in the back corner of the huge auditorium so no one noticed that she is sleeping and he’s taking advantage of her.

After four hours of long lecture, their professor dismissed the class. And there, she’s still sleeping.

“What a sleepy head” he thought.

He whispered something very sweet in her ears then suddenly, she woke up. She was as red as a tomato when she saw his hand around her’s.

“Hey! Pervert. Get your hands off me.” She blurted out in an annoyed voice.

“Yeah..Yeah..” he mumbled as he removed his hands away from her.

Still he likes the fact that they stayed that way for an hour. They went to their next class and unfortunately to Kei, Kana sat in the front row. It was already seven pm when their professor in Physics dismissed them. She wanted to go home but it was raining hard and too bad she doesn’t have an umbrella.

“Yo, honey. Wanna come with me?’ Kei whispered to her ear in somewhat seductive tone.

“I still hate you, y’know?” She scowled at him.

“I don’t mind at all~”

It was really raining hard and most of the bullet trains stopped their operations. They decided to eat for a while and waited for the rain to stop. But the rain god is quite nasty. It became heavier.

Its almost ten pm, then suddenly Kei dragged her to an inn.

“I’m not going” she insisted.

“So, you want to catch a cold and a fever? Or you wanna sleep on the streets?” he fought back.

“Fine. Then promise me one thing.”

“What?”

“You’re going to sleep on the floor” she demanded.

“Let me think about that.” He said in a very soft voice that no other person would hear.

Kei got the key to their room. It was unexpectedly neat inside, he thought. The bed was well, quite large so its fine.

Kana entered the room first, as Kei was approached by a young man.

“So is she your girlfriend, or what?” asked by the young man.

“You could say so..but she’s my..you know a friend, perhaps.” Kei replied.

“So basically you’re saying that you’re here because of the bad weather condition, huh? That’s uncool~”

“That’s right. So, may I excuse myself now?” Kei answered in annoyance.

Just when he entered the room, there he saw, Kana is already sleeping like an angel sent by above. He caressed her hair and her soft cheeks. Suddenly, tears fell from his eyes. He misses her so much. She means the world to him. She is the air she breathes after all.

“I miss you so much, my angel.” He whispered.
